    May 11, 2022 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m thrilled to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Color Block Backgrounds Collection from Spellbinders. The bold and versatile dies in this collection inspired me to create three cards with fun backgrounds for a variety of occasions. Color Blog Cloudscape All of the different cloud formations in the Color Block Cloudscape Die Set had me imagining a dreamy night sky. I added layers of wispy clouds to a blue moon and sparkly sky for this pretty and fun love card. Trim a piece of Cosmic Sky Cardstock to 4.25” x 5.5”. Apply silver metallic…

    m en.UseHi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m thrilled to be back on the blog today to share several projects using the new Celebrate You Collection from Spellbinders. The gorgeous sentiments, unique 3D dies, and pretty tag designs in this collection inspired me to create a ton of cards and bags for all different occasions. Baby Card I thought the Venetian Wallpaper Stencil was so beautiful and would make the perfect background for this soft and pretty baby card. Trim white cardstock to 4” x 5.25” and apply Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar, and silver pigment ink through the Venetian Wallpaper Stencil with a blending tool to create the background.…

    The Christmas Traditions Collection – Three Takes on the Nativity Scene

    October 4, 2021 / 3 Comments

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Jean here sharing holiday cards created with the Christmas Traditions Collection at Spellbinders. The nativity products in this collection caught me eye, as I vividly remember a Christmas card depicting the Wise Men that I saw as a young child. With that inspiration in mind, I used the Three Kings stamp set and the Rejoice Nativity dies in three different ways. Let’s take a look. A color palette of white, gold, and a touch of silver put the emphasis on the nativity focal point. Create a 4 inches wide by 5¼ inches tall background with Christmas Traditions Paper Pad Attach to A2-size card base. With the…

    Using Electronic and Manual Machines Together | Shadowbox Gift Card Bag by Annie Williams

    October 3, 2021 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m happy to be back on the blog today to share a fun and festive gift card bag made by combining digital cutting files with some of the latest Christmas products from Spellbinders.  I love the versatility of electronic cutting machines, but often times when they are used with paper crafting the results can look a little flat.  By integrating embossing folders, stencils, and dies that layer or even emboss, you can take an ordinary gift bag to the next level. I loved the idea of these shadowbox gift card bags as a fun way dress up an otherwise ordinary gift card exchange…
